The number of holes made to probe the dimensions of oil and gas fields greatly exceeds the number of holes made to get oil out .. and the number of holes drilled to estimate mineral reserves (copper, gold, kimberlite (diamonds), bauxite, etc. etc. etc) is large in comparision to oil wells.

The point of all those holes is to log layers, horizons, sediments, etc and to map out the geology of very large areas .. much much much larger than the combined bore hole diameter areas.

Of course boreholes are the final step in "proofing" siesmic results that map out many layers across large areas and allow geologists to rule out many areas as not having the structures required to trap gases.

The GDPR was proposed and discussed in 2014, it was voted on in 2016, and went into effect in 2018. As 2025 is at the door, what excuses are there really to use a non-compliant tech stack when handling personal data?
In this case it’s probably “this is a silly question”.

Use tech you already know. Accept its limitations. Compared to how much time people spend thinking about it, tech stack is likely far less important than most other choices.

I've got this wrong before, I've got it right before. A new company sounds like a good opportunity to use new tech, but It's disarming if you can't solve a problem because you haven't mastered your tools yet. It slows progress if you have to learn on the fly. In contrast, using tools you're already comfortable with gives you really good momentum.
Believe it or not, coding is the easy part. It's solving problems that gets you paid, and learning to program moves you in that direction if you're interested in learning how to solve tech related problems.
The article doesn’t explain why this is interesting. Here’s a different way of putting it:

A classic pinhole camera is a box with a hole in it. The hole is small, so not much light gets in. We replace it with a lens that acts in effectively the same way, but lets in more light. The pinhole is inside the camera, and there is an obstacle in front of the subject, so the camera can’t see it. The fun thing here, is that this camera has a pinhole _outside_ the camera, so the pinhole can be positioned on the other side of the obstacle, and therefore take a picture of the subject.

1. Wondering 3.4 JIT performance vs 3.3 JIT on production rails.

2. Also wondering what upside could Ruby / Rails gain on a hypothetical Java Generational ZGC like GC? Or if current GC is even a bottleneck anywhere in most Rails applications.
Truly is, much nicer than that lonely `_1`
because it's silly. period.

yeah, it have lots of advantages, and that's why it was the default decades ago for everything. (windows, bsd, etc)

then people would have lots of trouble installing different software or updating security issues. so we invented package managers and took all the time in the world to make the base as small as possible.

it's advantages still make sense in some places, like modems with old flash memory. openwrt is static base with overlays. but again, it still carries the same downsides but because of the different aspects of the hardware it makes sense.

it would make sense for tech illiterate end users (hence android, ios, chrome os, wii, macos to a degree, etc) and containers (which already have infinite ways to convert from package to static). but anything else will literary harm the distro ability to evolve and adapt to software changes. imagine every change like systemd or a new browser or wm being atomic.

now people forgot decades of history. and it's so tiring.
I am wondering about those birthday cards with a tiny speaker, battery and mystery blob of epoxy built in. Do we have any idea what's inside and if it can be reprogrammed. That would be a great target for this kind of build.
Of course not; how could we ever be sure? We're dumb users; inspection of details of interactions between our browser and a website is a black art.

"Youtube doesn't work" is the default apparent failure mode here; and this failure mode does not provide even a PC LOAD LETTER way of going further.

(It'd be nice if it were transparent or always worked, but again: It is simply not this way. And again: We can tell this because of the complaints, and of the storied workarounds.)

Merry Christmas. Feliz Navidad. Bon Nadal.

Back at the end of eighties and beginning nineties I used to go to my uncle and aunt (my mom's immediately old sister) home and I would spend time with my cousins, from which three of them were orphans. Fortunately the family could take care of everyone.

I would spend time with one of my orphan cousins (we are just one year apart) and my older sister playing some games like hide and seek around the house, I was hardly 7-8 yo.

My uncle and aunt are not among us anymore but at least I keep nice memories.

This was in Spain. Currently I am in Asia.
All that work and you can't put a description of what it does, an example, an image, something. 10'000 people click the link you posted, see nothing at all, and leave again.
For some reason a lot of my memories from early days are lost (despite not being that far back), but I do fondly remember us visiting some neighbours, playing Monopoly with the kids of the household (good friends at the time, that I've since long lost contact with) until late, then getting back home to find presents under the tree. I've now forgotten what the presents were, but vividly remember my mum leaving to "get something from the flat" as we were playing :)

Crăciun fericit! I can only hope for more peace in the world for the next year.
> Hex is only better than decimal if hex allows the number of digits to be reduced. If we need to only encode 26 elements, then hex doesn't reduce the number of digits compared to decimal, so hex has no advantage over decimal in the 26-element case

He had more than 26 things to encode, I believe he started with numbers, letters and a question mark.

> Using just 0 or 1 will increase the number of digits needed, so has a clear disadvantage compared to hex or decimal

Using 0 or 1 decreases that to only 3 cards (including question mark), and increasing the safety margin to 120° on the setup he had. It'd take longer but be more robust.
Because it uses same metrics.

it's not even that deep. you only think it's related because the inflammatory wording used in the article to try to make it about content freedom.

Same reaction here but with a little more thought I give it more credit. The resulting image looks like you're looking at the subject head-on from a point behind the wall. It doesn't look like you're peeking over the wall at some angle.

The actual video doesn't have this headline, the clickbait comes from this article that doesn't really add anything over the video. It's clearly referencing the part of the video where says "sees around walls", but actually that is more accurate anyway compared to "sees behind walls" because it does see all around the wall. The ring lens characterization in the video is even better at not setting a weird expectation.

The video itself is wonderful regardless. I thought the ignored and reversed perspective shots were amazing.
The economy of many poor African and Asian countries is also growing, that doesn't mean the economy is stellar and that WLB is amazing.

Also, GDP growth is a shit measurements of WLB and general welfare of the working population.

For example, if a lot of rich foreigners, tourists and retirees are buying properties and spending money on Airbnbs in your sunny country lifting up the GDP that has no impact on the welfare and WLB of white collar workers working in software or hardware engineering for example.

Which is how Spain still has one of the highest youth unemployment rares in the EU.

But yeah, Spain is a bit better, but Italy WLB is definitely nothing to write him about according to Italians who emigrated.

Neat.

I have issues with Chrome on Linux when playing 1080p videos on my 1080p monitor, ever since I disabled the h264ify plugin that (according to some here) I should have never, ever needed to have had installed to begin with.

On an i7-6700K. With an RTX 2080 Super. This is not the fastest rig, but it's plenty capable of playing a fucking 1080p Youtube video (maybe even with software decoding) as long as it isn't fucking sabotaged, like I used to do with much-lesser computers from the beginning of YouTube's 1080p streams.

(Do I have some software issues to sort out? You betcha! But the automagic shit on Youtube fails to produce usable video today, for me, just the fucking same -- without explicit help. This means that the automatic shit does not fucking work, for me -- today. And I am not alone -- see the other random complaint, above.)

(And this begs the question of: Why does this h264ify plugin, and its friends, even exist if it was never needed to begin with? For the lulz? Was it created as merely an educational experiment?)

[And as a point of comparison: 1080p Pornhub video works fine on this system. Every time. It's just smooth video without problems or aberrations. I do not know what codecs Pornhub uses, mostly because Pornhhub has never given me any reason to care about the codecs they use.

My YouTube-viewing experiences are not that way at all. By default, they fuck up. And they fuck up often. This makes me research reasons to explain, and correct for, YouTube fucking-up. Meanwhile, Pornhub works fine; it has thus not needed any corrective measures or inspection at all.]

And yes: It will always be totally cromulent for end-users like myself to bitch about the experiences they have that do not fucking work, even if (or especially if) they have some measure of technical chutzpah.

(I bitched about a thing in concert with another user who was bitching about a very similar thing. You did not provide a solution, or even a viable path towards finding a solution.)
Most likely not yet there, but for applications implemented in Ruby it is certainly an improvement for overall usability experience.

My point was to disprove that "cloud" is simpler than conventional sysadmin - it is not, and it involves similar effort, complexity and manpower requirements.
Same for fedora CoreOS. RPM-ostree is just a bunch of symlinks and hard links just like NixOS is if I recall correctly. Or at least it used to be.
It's not a "growing list" - the vast majority of languages use hand-written parsers.

I've been running OpenWRT on my home router since ca 2017, and I found LuCI both quite intuitive, and immensely powerful. Simple things are simple, complex or difficult things are possible, with just clicking around.

Unfortunately if something can't be done with LuCI, you're pretty much on your own - the documentation for the internals is scarce and expects you to be an expert/developer.
Just try it!

I converted 6mo ago after finally pulling together the motivation to give it a shot. My biggest hesitation was in how long I expected to struggle with it before feeling comfortable, followed closely by skepticism about how good the compatibility story actually is.

Both, it turns out, were non issues. It took all of a day to feel perfectly comfortable using it. I spent the rest of the week gradually plugging most of the remaining holes in my workflow. And git compatibility is as advertised. A coworker switched shortly after I did and zero people have noticed or cared.

Though at this point I don’t even bother colocating the .git repo alongside .jj. Meaning I haven’t found a need to fall back to git commands in maybe four or five months.
Merry Christmas everyone! Thanks for this great website where it is possible to have intellectual discussions no matter what odd and lonely place one might be living in. :-)

I have had to recreate Christmas for my family on my own - my wife is Turkish and although she is not highly religious (especially about food!) it was not a "thing" for her for most of her life.

When I was living in Istanbul with her, Christmas was just another working day although I noticed a somewhat wistful attitude - people who sort of wished to join in but felt they were on the outside. The occasional Christmas tree. It was very odd for me. I couldn't surmount those odds and I also had never had to be the initiator. When my mum died years and years ago, everything died.

Back in the UK it's easier and I have a daughter so I HAVE to make it happen. I'm not that good at it but today my daughter, without telling me, filled my christmas stocking :-) So the bug has caught on. :-)

Now it's time to have breakfast and open presents from under the tree.

I wish a very joyful day to everyone. I risk controversy by saying that Christmas was not originally a religious festival and whatever religion you are, you're not excluded from enjoying it. It was a "middle-of-winter" party and I think it was to keep Northern Europeans spirits up at the darkest time of the year. That it has turned into "good will to all men" is great but it isn't owned by any church.

How's the tool compatibility when using gg tho? My repo work tends to be split between git and magit, and while I would very much welcome the ability to get rid of git for a better experience, doing so at the cost of magit is an extremely steep hurdle.

It was around this time, in a little city of about 15,000, in South Australia, when my mum received a gift and voucher from Blockbuster for being in the top ten for most movie rentals in one year.

This was a time when movies were on VHS tapes, and there was a bit before the start of the movie that said something like “have you seen every movie ever made?”[1]

And at the time it certainly felt like we had watch nearly everything that store and one other had over the previous five years.

You can release someone from prison, but it generally does not happen. And legal system does NOT care about your guilt or innocence after you have been sentenced.

Even if there is clear and unambiguous proof that you was factually innocent, legal system is setup to ignore it. There is no innocence pathway out of prison once you was sentenced.

To elaborate on the other comments, it is extremely easy to use the op log to undo basically anything.

I was live demoing something and performing some manual repo surgery in order to demonstrate some thing that can happen with git but is nicely solved by jj. In doing the surgery I absolutely fucked everything.

I had never used the undo feature or the op log before. In less than five minutes—during the live demo—I was able to figure out how to reset things back to a known good state. It was stupidly easy.

There's the ASRock PAUL: https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=P...

I have one, it works. Look at that board though! Given that component and board density, I don't find it very surprising that it costs around 200$ USD. Maybe you could get clever and design one that tries to work 100% via pcie device functions, and cut down the (physical) complexity of the IPMI device, but then the wide system and interface compatibility of the IPMI board would suffer.

To wit, the card needs to do the following, at a minimum:

1. Provide a VGA/UEFI/VFB-equivalent framebuffer for display capture

2. Provide a USB-device interface to emulate keyboard+mouse.

3. Provide a network interface of some sort for remote control

4. Provide GPIO headers/sinks at the appropriate power levels to replace traditional motherboard front-of-device switches -or- provide a PMBus header to perform equivalent functions with a support PSU.

You can get away with a subset of the above, but without that, you will be missing something critical to enabling lights-out-management. On top of that, a full-featured IPMI board is also generally expected to provide some fashion of environmental monitoring and fan control, which the PAUL does provide. It throws in some extra features as well, and provides some maintenance/lifecycle management capabilities of the board itself.

Providing all the above, is about the same amount of complexity of shipping a SBC and ecosystem itself, made moreso by the compatibility requirements.

You don't have nearly as big a market willing to pay $200 for all that -- its certainly not a matter of adding the chip and flash and dropping some vias.

Even having a standardish system-on-chip and non-bespoke firmware is 'new' (post-2020?). It could have been done 10-15 years ago sure, but noone was willing to do the long tail of tasks needed to get a product to market yet.
I’ve been using Firefox on OS X since forever (never jumped to chrome and back) and I’ve never experienced this. Is there a bug report? Surely this would get a lot of attention.
There’s a configurable cap on max file size to auto-add, IIRC. It defaults to something “reasonable”.

If you do somehow add a terabyte of small files by accident, it’s still just git under the hood so you can make sure nothing active points at them and GC them.
